Mesquite/Ironwood at Kierland Golf Club

The course was in great condition. The greens were rolling true, fairways in excellent shape & the bunkers had just the right amount of sand. played all 27 holes
the ironwood / acacia was my favorite, the mesquite was nice as well.
I will definitely play here again.

Beautiful course... forgiving off the tees and gives you a great chance to score well from the mens tees. Course maintenance is I'm sure a huge challenge during the late summer in AZ but I lost strokes to pooled water in low areas and greens covered in sand. I'll play here again in the fall but for now there are better deals to be had in AZ.

I believe Ironwood / Acacia provides the best challenge

A last minute decision on a near record setting day of 111 degrees F, found the misters on the carts extremely necessary.
Played as a single and it wasn't until the 15th hole that I caught up with a single player.
Played the course in less than 3 hrs.
Found it a very good layout with plenty of challenges for a 12 handicapper.
I am looking forward to play the course again when it is a bit cooler.

Have played all 3 nines at Kierland several times. The practice facility and general aura of the course are very nice. Always in great shape and rarely slow, as the 3 nines are awesome for pace of play. Similar to the Phoenician in that. Greens roll nice and reads are straight forward. Driver is the club on nearly every par 4 and 5, given you can work it a little bit. Fairways slant inwards! The challenge is really on your irons if you want to score well. Short game areas aren't too challenging, excluding the deep bunkers, but pars are easy to come by. However birdies come with quality iron shots!

Might have to go to the resort restaurant and bar for your 19th hole.

Course is in good shape greens were recently aerated
though and not quite back

acacia was NOT lady friendly-Way too many deep bunkers for beginner players and ladies. Mesquite was a great coarse.

I was very disappointed to discover on our first green that they had just aerified the greens on the Acacia course. When we played our back nine on the Mequite course, although not as bad it appeared that aerification was done on that nine within the last week or two. I had invited an out of town guest so I was somewhat embarrassed bringing him to play these "sub par" conditions as I had bragged to him that we were going to play one of the best courses in the valley, it certainly wasn't on this day. There was no mention in the Golf Now listing of an aerification alert so I thought we would of had better conditions. Playing on days of 105+ degrees one looks for anything to make the day more positive and the conditions of the greens definately did not help and only added to an already less than stellar playing day.

We were not told when booking that the course had recently been aerated. Some of the greens were pretty bumpy because of it. Other than that and the hardness of the sand in some bunkers, the course seemed to be in decent shape.

Got a great GolfNow rate ($25) for an afternoon in the summer. Took a half day off and played. Finished in about three hours, with a couple stops. The course was in really old shape. As a newbie, I particularly enjoyed the pretty open fairways on most courses. The challenge definitely seemed more in the approach to the green shots. Either way, had a great time and the scenery was beautiful. Will definitely try to come back.

Acacia was in excellent shape with really nice greens, Mesquite had been punched and sanded so greens substantially slower and bumpier. Overall great course even in summer course in good condition. Will play again this summer while rates are reasonable. Peak season locals are pretty much priced out of playing.

the course was in very good shape for summer

first 9 green were very nice and second 9 green just OK

always been one of the better courses in arizona..

started out nice. nice covered driving range. friendly staff....etc.... but come on people! when its 112 degrees outside, there needs to be water jugs every other hole or so and it better be ice cold! thats the big problem here. there was water only on a few holes and it was hot.
you have to do better than that

Got a tee time at 4:03pm. I played with two other younger kids that are part of the wedding party. We were able to get a 4 person cart since I was the only one that could drive. The cart was excellent. The range was excellent as well. The putting green was sandy and slower than what we found on the actual course. Teeboxes were in great shape, and the same goes for the fairways and greens. The rough was very short, so if you drove it offline it was very forgiving. The bunkers were well taken care of.

Played the course three consecutive days on the 3 day unlimited golf package. We played the acacia- ironwood nines each day as the mesquite was closed. Course conditions are outstanding. The tee box areas, fairways and greens are meticulously maintained. The greens run very true and a well struck putt will produce a good result. The course some interesting holes but is not the most challenging venue in the Valley. The back tees make it interesting for lower handicaps while the more forward tees make it fun for recreational players. The staff is friendly and professional. The club also has an excellent practice facility and a very good restaurant

Course in very nice condition. Firm and receptive greens with very true roll. Overall great job of maintenance by the crew. A bit if inconsistency in a couple of the bunkers. From back tees I like that you have to hit the occasional 5 iron into the greens. I found a great rate online. Play Kierland!

We played as a twosome in less than 3 hours. Course was in perfect shape, easy course for a new golfer.

i quit at third holes because of very very slow. too many golfers behind us. every hole i had to wait more than four min.

Course is in great shape. Grass cut with walkways from tee box gives it a pro feel. Greens are fast, consistent, but very receptive to incoming shots. Loved the wide fairways. Carts have GPS and really cool built-in misters, great for hot summer play. Covered driving range, good chipping area, and a practice green large enough and flat enough so you can practice all the length and speed of semi-flat putts, not just steep short breakers. What's not to like including a convenient close-in North Scottsdale location, easy to get to. Did not rate food and bev. as I did not get anything to eat or drink but the people in the pub certainly looked like they were having a good time.
